The presentation delivered by Margot van Brakel during a strategic meeting of senior management was not only substantive but also incredibly engaging. The objective was to intrinsically embrace the latest technological advancements.

Margot's presentation exceeded all expectations in this regard. It was a captivating discourse that began by emphasizing the human aspect (the importance of learning and acceptance) and seamlessly transitioned into the realm of technological developments, specifically AI, illustrating how to embrace them without compromising one's individuality.

For our organization, this presentation proved to be highly motivating as it effectively dismantled any barriers associated with acceptance. It inspired us to approach new technologies with an open mind, recognizing their potential while still staying true to ourselves.

Dirk Beljaarts

I have come to know Margôt – when she was keynote speaker at a hospitality event – as an insightful and passionate speaker. She has raised speaking to be an art by itself, but more importantly her message is spot on in today's disconnected world. I have asked Margôt to inspire my entire team and her contribution to the phase that we were in as a company was a message that needed to be heard. From one heart to another Margôt’s speech inspired my team and left a message that still resonates today.

CEO, Koninklijke Horeca Nederland

Margôt has taken ample time to give all hotel concierges a positive feeling during our Les Clefs d’Or meeting. After her inspiring story, they go back to work with great enthusiasm to bring hospitality to an even higher level.

Ron Stoevelaar

President Les Clefs d’Or the Netherlands

Margôt is an inspirational speaker who addresses you straight from the heart. She understands how to move her audience: Empowering, Energetic and Informative at the same time. Her topic is an issue we have to deal with every day, so in my opinion she should get as much attention as possible to tell her story all over the world.
